HERMES
He is the messenger of the gods from Greek mythology. His father was Zeus and his mother Maia, one of the Pleiades, the daughters of Atlas.
Hermes is the most sympathetic deity of the Greek pantheon because He combines the human with the divine elements, but also because He is regarded as the teacher of humanity. He is the one who introduced letters and the sciences to humanity. At the same time He is the patron of commerce, essential ceremonies and magic. He is also the patron of thieves, and gambling.
